ratings on Goodreads

In the compelling exploration "Drunk Tank Pink," Adam Alter invites readers into a world where the unseen hand of our environment shapes every thought, decision, and emotion. With riveting clarity, Alter reveals how the subtlest aspects of our surroundings—from the color of a room to the weather outside—exert a profound influence over our cognitive and emotional lives, often without our conscious awareness. Through a tapestry of surprising data and captivating examples, Alter peels back the layers of our daily experience, challenging the belief in our autonomy and showcasing the invisible forces that guide us. "Drunk Tank Pink" is not merely a book; it's a journey into the heart of human behavior. Alter masterfully combines insights from psychology, sociology, and neuroscience to demonstrate the complex interplay between individual and environment. As readers traverse each page, they are equipped with a new lens to view the world—a lens that reveals how deeply our actions and feelings are embedded in the colors, names, and natural phenomena that surround us. This transformative work promises to enlighten, astonish, and change the way we perceive the fabric of our lives.
